Forget politics, this is hard to watch on a purely human level. Let this poor guy rest.

Wow. The Harris team are out of the blocks in lightening quick time with this superb ad

I spy my BFF crushing it!

Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Ori Danino. This ongoing grief and outrage was brutally sown on 10/7. Hamas owns this entire humanitarian catastrophe and my support for Israel is unbreakable.

Heartbroken and angry at the news of Hersh and the other hostages. I pray for his family as they heal from this tragedy. I appreciate the President’s and Vice President’s commitment to bringing hostages home. May Hersh's memory, and those of the other hostages, be a blessing.

Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23 Eden Yerushalmi, 24 Carmel Gat, 40 Almog Sarusi, 27 Alex Lubnov, 32 Ori Danino, 25 Today we gathered to grieve and to be in community. We may not know these six but they have been in our hearts for nearly a year. May their memories be a blessing. 🎗️

Blake had his first day on Tuesday. Michaela, Sophia, and Ruth get back to school Thursday. Ruth was less than impressed with showing up for the picture. Bryna Moritz

Cue the "thoughts and prayers," arming teachers, bullet proof glass, bullet proof backpacks, 50 lockdown drills/day, police officers patrolling hallways, metal detectors etc BUT no real convo about the weapon that again is used to murder innocent lives in seconds. Pathetic!

And now all the kids have started school. Back to work tweets!

Reupping this in hopes of embarrassing Upstate Images from continuing to upsell parents on "retouching" "teeth whitening" "braces removal" when selling pictures to elementary kids. Just an embarrassing business practice

Great to be Ulster BOCES with Mid-Hudson study council to watch Kim Fontana present on blue ribbon work and talk legal issues with Jacinda H. Conboy

ft: we keep underestimating global birth rate decline

With today's inflation data confirming that schools will again have a 2% tax cap in 25-26, we see that over the past 4 years, inflation has grown by 21.21% while the tax cap has increased by just 8.24%. That's the gap that schools will rely on state aid to fill. New York State School Boards Association

With tomorrow being April 22, the majority of school districts across New York have been forced to finalize their May ballots - including their budget proposal - without knowing for sure what their school aid package will look like. New York State School Boards Association
